You are only as healthy as your environment.

If you suspect you are breathing in toxins, environmental testing labs Orange will check your environment for you. The saying goes that you are only as healthy as your environment and it is true. You can be eating the best foods, doing an adequate amount of exercise and still, you can be in trouble. You need to put good things into your body, or into your children’s bodies, but you also need to breathe in clean air. Sometimes air or water is contaminated and sometimes, the very buildings that we live in contain toxins. If you or your family have unexplained allergies or illnesses, and of course this applies to a corporate building or industrial building too, you may be breathing in disease. The only way to check this is to call in an environmental testing agency.

Environments and hazards

Some toxins, and this is what environmental testing labs do, are ‘normal toxins’ if this can make any sense to you. Everyone is subjected to ‘ordinary levels’ of things that are not entirely healthy to us. It is when this exposure is continuous that it does become very dangerous. The more we breathe in a toxin, the more vulnerable our bodies become. If you think of a home with damp in the bedroom for example, sleeping in that room is not going to cause continuous damage if it is just for a few weeks. But the longer the exposure becomes, the more deadly the exposure is. Kids who sleep in rooms with damp, although not only kids, breathe in microscopic pores that are toxic. Kids in a school with damp breathe in the pores and over time, get ill.

Damp and other toxins are dangerous and can be deadly. This is why there are environmental testing labs Orange and this is why we must use them.
